I fly and crash remote control airplanes. I won't put a expensive camera in one of those.
If I had one, I'd put in a ton of hours flying it with something that had the same weight as my camera. You'll learn about winds, cross winds, ground effects, and how to use the controls until they are second nature to you. It's not as easy as it looks.
Your right, it's not easy to fly, took me about 240/260 hours to build/re -machine parts to run true, then flew dual control for weeks with qualified instructor, then finally did my solo flight and lo and behold, some A#$ H#%#, turned on his radio (same Frequency) and my Heli ended up flying into a backstop. Rebuilt it, and off we went...with no other incidences. (both real, fixed wing and RC choppers).
